A Rich Woman's Whim.

A curious story comes from England
through a private source, that the
Baroness Burdette Coutts has some-
thing that no other woman in the
world possesses-three skins. All 9th.
er women have two; but what is the
use OF great fortune if you can't af-
ford yourself little unusual luxury
now and then? The third skin is made
of silk, and is so exquisitely fine and
close fitting that few people have de-
tected its presence. 1t is said to cover
her whole body, from her ankles to
her chin, and they, for she has sets of
them, are woven specially for her.
They are flesh colored, Of course, and
hide all wrinkles and ravages of time,
with the natural discolorations of the
skin that are the result of age. Where
this artificial skin ends at the throat
the Baroness wears q splendid collar
of jewels or velvet band, and she
never takes off her gloves while in
evening dress, not even to eat her din

The Readiness With Which She Under.
stood q Financial Object Lesson.
A man having large business inter
ests and handsome income married q
lady who, accustomed all her previous
life to the luxuries of wealth, had
never formed any clear conception OF
the value and purchasing power OF
money. For some months every whim,
no matter how extravagant. was
promptly gratifed by the indulgent
husband, who always gave his check
for any amount of money asked. Ca,e
day the bride of few months to
carry out some caprice, requested a
check for so large sum that the gen.
tleman was somewhat staggered there
by. He saw that such prodigality, if
PERSISTED in, meant ruin; but not wish
ing to grieve his wife by downright
refusal, he determined to give her an
object lesson in the financial line. Ac-
cordingly with smile of seeming
acquiescence, he remarked that
the supply Of checks was ex-
hausted, but he would send ND the
money from the Office. About noon
the promised money came. not in crisp
$500 bills, as was expected, but in
sterling silver dollars, the sum total
filling several specie bags. The wife
was at first vexed and then amused,
and finally, before the afternoon wore
away, became deeply thoughtful.
When her better half came home to
supper she took him gently by the arm,
and, leading him into the hall, where
the ponderous bags of specie were still
said:
my dear, is this money l asked you
for this morning?'
1T is, my love-" was the reply.
"And did you have to take this all
in, dollar by dollar, in the course of
your businessP" was the next question,

suits OF many weeks of hard labor"
he answered, gently.
''Well, them" she said, with fearful
eyes, "send around man to take it

Under Democratic Administration.

o"uor democratic Administration.
One OF the prominent devices usec
by the Republicans in the last Nationa
campaign whereby to terrify the pco
pie was an Industrious circulation o
the warning that if the Democrat
should succeed to power the wheels O

elry firm in Attleboro publicly tele
graphed to New York on the night be-

celed'" Similar cheap tricks had beer
in operation every day.
But human nature did not radically
change after election. Men continued
to eat, to wear clothes, to live in
houses and even to wear cheap iewelry.
The wheels of industry, in fact, moved
more nimbly in their sockets than
before. 1t is even doubtful whether
the sott-solder man Cancelled his order.
On the whole the condition of bust
ness has remained satisfactory, and is
so to-day. That there are strikes and
numerous disputes between labor and
capital is rather an evidence that
times are good than the contrary. for it
is an old maxim to make hay while the
sun shines and to strike while the iron
is hot.
The severe competition among man.
ufacturers has made it necessary to put
a far greater stock of goods upon the
market than formerly in order to live,
while traders find it necessary to ham
die almost double the quantity Of goods
in order to secure the gold profits. All
this operates to fulfill the great eco
nomic law promulgated by Josiah War.

competition is to make cost the limit

get its own, and Mr.. Atkinson would
have us believe that we have already
nearly reached it.
Oufs IS great country. The sum-
mer sun shines down upon mass of
humanity as contented and prosperous
as grumbling human nature will per-

confidence in their rulers. They are
gradually unloading themselves of the
degenerate Republican party that
waxed fat and audacious on the leav-

OFFICIAL WISDOM.
A Bit of Red-Tapeism Which Deprlves
England of Its Best Horses.

I
| England of Its Best Horses.
Here is another example of depart
mental wisdom: We are at our wits
end for cavalry horses. Commissions
are travelling to Canada and the waste
places of the earth to look for them {;
and all the time the agents of the
French and Germans are finding and
buying excellent animals in the not
very remote county of Yorkshire. Our
officers have had a look at those horses,
or might have had; they found, or
would have found, that they were
strong, useful, courageous beasts-just
the kind for hussar regiment. But
they had one absolutely fatal
fault. Their tails were locked, and
red tapeism has decreed that no horse
with locked tail shall be so much as
considered by our military inspectors.
Many people believe that horse is
the better for being locked; no one, at
any rate, supposes that he is seriously
the worse. But there is the regulation;
and thanks to it the War Office is al.
most shut out from some of the best
English markets, and has succeeded in
raising tho price against itself some e3
or "a per horse! Meanwhile, as we
have said, the foreigner, who has no
prejudices against docking, picks up
the very animals we want under the
noses Of our most sapient "authori-
ties. ST. James Gazette.

seasons the stars of the cluster might
be entirely concealed, and they would
look OFT into the same starry universe
that we behold. Or the orbit of the
planet might be so situated that the
clustered splendors we have described
would be visible from only one of its
hemispheres, so that the inhabitants of
the other hemisphere, hearing the
fame of this great celestial display and
desiring to behold it, would have to
journey half around their globe to
crafty their curiosity. as we have to
go into the Southern hemisphere to see
the Southern Cross, the M agellanic

the astral sky.
But, somebody may ask, can inhabit-
ed worlds exist in such system as that
described? We certainly have no
reason to think it impossible that they
should. 1t is difficult, however, to I'M
derstand just how the cluster itself

prevailing among its members put it
beyond the power of the mathematical
analysis to unravel their orbital mo-

RANK SPOILSMEN.
A Sample Of Republican Reform frs
the Empire State.

A Sample Of Republican Reform from,
the Empire State.
The Republican party out of power
is as virtuous in its professions of de-
votion to Civil-Service reform as the
old couplet represents the devil to have
been in respect to sainthood when he
was sick.
What the Republican party is when
it has even a remnant of power is
shown by the course of its Senators at
Albany. The present Quarantine Com
missioners, who are VIGOROUSLY parti-
san and personal jobhers, have held
office for four years beyond the expi-
ration of their terms. The present
health officer, who is VIGOROUSLY mere
ly the henchman of that political boss,
ex-senator Plat, has held over for
three years beyond the expiration of
his term. The present Commissioners
of immigration have held Office for
more than three years beyond the pas
sage of law intended to vest their
powers in a single commissioner.
Governor Cleveland nominated un-
exceptionable men for these offices, but
Republican Senate refused to con-
firm them. Governor Hill has again
nominated good men-conceded on all
sides to be such-and the Senate pur-
poses to chang them up" The Re-
publican party thus puts itself on rec
ord as not only treating the offices as
spoils, by holding on to them after the
people OF the State have FIVE times in
succession voted it down in the cleo
tions, but as maintaining in office
notorious ring sters who misuse public
trusts for factional and personal ends.
Truly, the thunder-tone of these
spoilsmen's actions quite browns out
their feeble piping in favor of ire
